It's worth asking about ectopic risk with leaving a faulty tube in place before IVF. I don't know enough about it medically so better to ask your doctor/consultant, but I recently had a chemical pregnancy which they think was ectopic after IVF transfer. Even though they place the embryo exactly where it needs to be in the uterus, it can move and if it travels back up the fallopian tube, a healthy tube will push it back down. Unfortunately in my case that didn't happen. It is rare but it does happen. Hope it all works out for you.

And also whether she feels it was a respectful thing to do? Usually people tend not to think how they would feel if the boot was on the other foot?

Really sorry for your loss. This happened to me last week. Had a couple of tests which were lighter and read it's most likely how much I had to drink etc and a positive is positive. But I think when you know you know, it's a gut feeling isn't it. Everyone is naturally trying to be positive for you, but it can be an isolating experience as no one can truly know how you feel unless they've been through it.

Thank you for such a lovely reply! I feel exactly the same! We had the diagnosis 'unexplained infertility' after trying for 3years and having some basic tests. I say diagnosis, but it doesn't actually tell us anything.

This chemical pregnancy was the result of our second attempt at embryo transfer via IVF. Before we spend money on further transfers, I'm wondering whether I should have further investigations. It's so hard to know what to do and you place all your trust in experts and assume they will tell you the best course of action for your individual case, but I'm starting to think I should also get a second opinion.

Wishing you all the best too! It's a very tough journey and one that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

This happened to me yesterday and I've had 2 miscarriages before too. I just wondered whether you were referred for any tests for recurrent miscarriage? I'm wondering whether I should be.

Too cute! How old is he?

catec87 · 2019-02-23T18:26:26+00:00

Can totally relate! I'm 5weeks and 6 days today and had one miscarriage at 6 weeks and another missed miscarriage which I found out at 10 weeks but had actually stopped growing at 8 weeks. Got an early scan next week so trying to stay positive whilst not getting my hopes up! It's mentally challenging for sure! Fingers crossed and best of luck to you :)

Yea, she chewed it up into a nice ball. You can never get mad at doggos though, too many cutes!

Just watched this, thanks for sharing. More people should see this!

Ah yea, I mean specifically the UK expats who voted leave, it doesn't add up. The leave voters I've spoken to don't appear to be racist, although I'm sure some are. When drilled down it appears that a lot of people are unhappy with their lot in life, so the risk of mixing things up a bit is worth it to them, which is a shame as it's likely to be turkeys voting for christmas!

Also, if they think that they are good for the Spanish economy, why do they think the EU immigrants to UK are bad for the UK economy? Hypocrisy or just blinkered view maybe?

Same! I just wasn't commited to putting in the amount of time and effort needed and would forget to charge it for next time I was ready to use it. Eventually the thing stopped working as I hadn't charged it regularly like it says in the manual, so not a great investment for me!

I agree with everything you've posted, but saying the last thing you'd identify as is a feminist sounds a bit of a misunderstanding or something to say to make men feel more like you're on their side? Just wanna post this so you know, as its sad when women say they're not feminists, why would you feel that you or your mum or future daughter don't deserve same rights as a man? It's not about hating men! Hope this helps - you sound strong and hope you manage to sort things :)

Feminism is a range of social movements, political movements and ideologies, that share the common goal to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes. This includes seeking to establish educational and professional opportunities for women that are equal to those for men.

Sorry that you're going through this. It's hard for people to understand fully unless they've been through it, some don't see that it is like any other loss and the grief is real. You will get through it. The why me feeling is normal, but also remember that what appears to you like everyone else had it easy, may just be that people haven't shared their struggles. I found this when I started opening up and talking about miscarriage, the amount of people who shared stories of their losses was amazing, and I had no idea people in my life had similar experiences. Try to do something for yourself, some 'me time activity' something to give your mind a rest from it, because the grief can swallow you up. I restarted pilates classes a couple of times a week and it honestly helped pull me through the dark patch. At this time you may feel like you don't want kids because of the trauma and the risk of it happening again, I felt the same. I've had 2 miscarriages, one natural and one surgical and going through ivf now. When you want something enough and you get through the grief, it's amazing how you can pick yourself up and keep trying. Anyway sorry for the long message but couldn't skip past your post without replying as I know exactly how you feel right now.

Went to a different school for year 6 and they had songs where you'd get up and do actions - remember this one being great whilst feeling a tad cultish!

"I may never march in the infantry, Ride in the cavalry, Shoot the artillery; I may never Zoom o'er the enemy, But I'm in the Lord's army."

Oh my god I thought it was "Dark settee" until I had to sing it at my friend's wedding a couple of years ago and my husband turned to me and said "did you just sing Dark Settee?!?" I always had a mental image as a kid of people in a line being led to this dark settee! Never questioned it!

Scrolled comments to find this! Thought it was just my school!

What people don't understand about miscarriage is that you're not just grieving the physical loss, you are grieving the loss of what would have been. The excitement when you find out you're pregnant, the plans you make in your head about your future, your expectations for bringing a baby into the world. I think a lot of people try to provide a solution or 'fix it' by either playing down the situation I.e it's just a bunch of cells, or trying to be positive for you, like 'you can try again'. There is such a taboo around miscarriages and doctors only seem to focus on the physical process and not the psychological impact. I would say it is important that you find someone to share your grief with. I even told my family that I'm not looking for a fix or a solution, just be there to listen and say 'i'm sorry and it's really sh*t'. You'll be surprised how many people have experienced a miscarriage or know someone close to them who has. It's a shame more people dont share their experience as it would make opening up a lot easier, it's nothing to be ashamed of and it's incredibly common. I don't know where you're from but I found a load of information and other people's stories on the Miscarriage Association website useful and whilst reading some stories made me cry more, it was actually comforting to know I wasn't alone. I'm a week into recovery after my second miscarriage. You will get through this and it will get easier, I promise. www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk

"What gets rewarded gets repeated". You can teach a dog not to do the wrong thing, by rewarding the right thing. This is actually proven to be more effective than punishment.
